Bethesda has released the first major update of 2025 for Fallout 76. Problems that the community has been waiting for for a long time have been solved.
Bethesda, Fallout 76 made a fast start to 2025. The game’s “1.7.17.9” update was released to players with a comprehensive patch note. The update includes many improvements, from in-game mechanics to visual fixes. In particular, the regulations introduced in areas such as camps, creatures, events and in-game accessibility offer solutions to problems that the player community has been demanding for a long time.
What’s New with Fallout 76 Update
This major update brings several changes to improve the Fallout 76 experience. For example, one of the frequently encountered problems in camps, pets getting stuck at the borders, has been solved. It was also stated that some building plans can now be used properly and the vertical spaces in the menu have been rearranged.
On the creatures side, a bug that caused Scorchbeast and Scorchbeast Queen to constantly perform “sonic attacks” was fixed. Improvements have also been made to events; for example, made the Ultracite Titan’s corpse during the Seismic Activity properly disappear before the next event. Work is also ongoing to address performance issues in the raid area called Gleaming Depths.
The update includes various mechanical and visual fixes to improve the player experience. While some bugs in the Pip-Boy interface have been fixed, VATS alignment problems on ultra-wide screens have been resolved. Additionally, minor but noticeable problems such as some in-game items being displayed with incorrect icons and text errors have been addressed.
There are also adjustments for weapons: the smoke effects of the Gauss Minigun have been adjusted and the revolutionary sword is displayed with the correct icon. Additionally, the effects of items like Rad-X and Rad-X Diluted are now more clearly explained.
The update once again demonstrates Bethesda’s commitment to Fallout 76. The game, which was once the target of criticism, began to be known as the “comeback king” thanks to regular updates and the importance given to community feedback. Other updates coming later this year may further the success of the game.
